The bill establishes the Quonset Development Corporation (QDC) as the sole authority for the care, maintenance, and management of public roads within the Quonset Business Park, designating these roads as "QDC public roads." It grants the QDC the exclusive power to designate, maintain, and control these roads without requiring approval from the state Department of Transportation or its board of directors. The legislation specifies that the QDC can implement traffic control measures, including the placement and maintenance of traffic control signals, signs, markings, and other safety devices on QDC public roads.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section to the General Laws stating that QDC public roads will not be subject to existing state and municipal road regulations, allowing the QDC to govern these roads independently. The QDC is also empowered to establish its own rules and regulations regarding the care, maintenance, and use of these public roads. This consolidation of authority aims to enhance the efficiency of road management within the Quonset Business Park. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
